The Gadolinium metals readily react with hydrogen to form GdH2, and, by raising the hydrogen pressure, the trivalent Gd metals also form the GdH3 phase. Both the GdH2 and GdH3 phases are nonstoichiometric (that is, the numbers of atoms of the elements present cannot be expressed as a ratio of small whole numbers). Applications: Gadolinium (III) hydride (GdH3) can be used in burnable position (BP) assembly for reactivity control. Molecular Formula: GdH3 Alfa Chemistry Materials product group: Metal Manufacturer data sheet |
